Who cares?

[Elvenkind]

When someone is having a meal, someone else is starving to death.
When someone is lonely, someone else is in love.
When someone cries, someone else laughs.
When someone is young and healthy, someone else is rotting away in sickness.
When ... and so on.

And who cares about all of it? Everyone is just existing in seperate realities where only their thoughts and emotions really matter. Everyone is the center of their own universe and don't know and don't really care about anything else.

When I'm dead, soon I will be forgotten. There is a wall between myself and everyone else that can't be removed even if I want to.

I've been thinking these thoughts since I was a child, and most people seem to deny it, because they don't want to see the truth. But it makes me feel that everything is pointless, we all are just dots in a massive universe, experiencing random events determined by when and where we were born. It makes me think nothing I experience is real, but just a projection of phenomena in my mind.

I want to see past the wall, or find a open door, but know it is not possible.

I can very much, totally, relate to what you are saying. It may not help to hear that, and I wish there was something I could say or do that would make things better, but I care and am thinking of you x

I don't know if it's that we don't care as much as if we take every tragedy in the world to heart, we would become basket cases. I think the best we can do is be thankful for what we have, and do what we can to help those less fortunate than ourselves. I think that's all God expects of us.

As far as the separation issue, you're right. We are all ultimately separated from each other. On the other hand, is that a bad thing? Do I want someone else, another sinner, in my thoughts and mind? There's only one person who can delve into my mind and handle it, and that's God. I don't think I'd want anyone but God looking through the muck that is my mind.

So, we do all have a wall around us. But there is one who can connect us among all our walls, and that is God.

And, yes, when we die, we will for the most part be forgotten here on earth. But earth isn't our home. It's not where our legacy is supposed to be. The way for other people to remember us for eternity is to influence them with an eternal perspective with the end in mind of bringing them to a relationship with Christ. We come into the world with nothing and we leave with nothing. There's only one thing we can take with us from this world into heaven, and that's other people. That's what matters.

Sometimes it hurts to care and people need to rest from caring to hang on.
